Deskripsi:
The art series"Symbiosis" is a visionary approach of the values and the cultural experiences I have gained during my stay in Indonesia for the year 2019-2020. This video is the process and inspiration of my artworks of the series which I started creating during the lockdown in early March 2020, due to the pandemic Covid-19. Is an attempt to illustrate part of the cultural heritage and the lifestyle in Indonesia as I experienced it before the lockdown, as well as to depict my adaptation to the daily life until today. In addition, I try to maintain the moments of the outside world that were important for my artistic process, before and during my isolation in Yogyakarta. Symbiosis, from the Greek word "συμβιόω" (συν + βίος that means “living together”), is any type of a close and long-term biological interaction between two different organisms. Τhese types of interaction can be mutualistic, commensalistic or parasitic. The art series Symbiosis represents these connections and explores the similarities in human relationships, where the body and mind struggle to co-exist, like two living organisms or in this case like a couple of people with different personalities and needs. The implementation of the idea is carried out with an architectural and contemporary artistic approach, inspired by the Indonesian architecture and culture that I had the chance to meet and observe during my stay in Indonesia which led me to realise the importance of these values as part of people’s life and the manner of existing together in peace, since ancient years.
The project includes the artworks: Mutualism, Commensalism and Parasitism.
